Katha 02 – Man, bucket and water – F

One man used to get half bucketful of water every day.

But that is not the rule.

It is possible that sometimes he would get two or even three buckets of water, and sometimes he might not get even half.

And it is not even his right to get at least half. So he can’t blame. And of course, there was nobody to blame.

One day he got no water at all.

And on some other day he got two buckets of water. So he didn’t blame  

One day one man got no water.

And on next day also he got no water. And for many days he got no water at all. But there was nobody to ask for, nobody to provide and nobody to blame. So he didn’t blame. And he died.

And there was a man who got no water at all for many days. So he blamed and blamed. And he died. He also died.

But everybody dies. So, we can only say, he died early.

One man used to get half bucketful of water every day.

But again there is no rule.

So, one day he got one bucketful plus more. The bucket was overflowing and he had no other bucket. He had to keep it overflowing and the water was wasted.

But as such he had no use of it. So the excess water was a waste anyway.

One man used to get half bucketful of water every day.

But one day he got more and the bucket was overflowing and overflowing and overflowing. The water was pouring down and there was a flood of water. He drowned in the water and died.

But everybody dies. So, we can only say, he died early. Or, can we? What is early, timely or late?
